Forever After

Daddy's Here

     An: Features a celebrity guest appearance. Don't look at me that way. I'm obsessed with this guy.

     You had to come clean to Klaus. But how? And why hadn't he noticed it himself? Maybe because he didn't want it to be true and was in denial? Your stomach curdled and you felt sick at the thought. You apologized to the witch running the clothing shop and left, feeling completely disheartened. None of it would fit anyway. Not soon. As you arrived home, your father was waiting for you. Hellboy was in London on business, doing his job and you were already cranky from your own thoughts. "What?" You asked a little snappily. "Come to scold me?"

     He raised an eyebrow. "No...I came to say I arranged a fancy dinner to reconnect with my Little Wolf. You've been rather busy expanding your food truck into a full blown restaurant and I miss you." You instantly felt bad.

     "I'm sorry...I'm a little stressed with Hellboy being gone." Your father smiled.

     "Go on. Pamper yourself. It's your favorite." Your eyes brightened.

     "You didn't! How did you get reservations again so soon?" He just winked and wandered off. Hell's Kitchen! You couldn't believe it! It was hard to get into, normally booked months in advance. You got ready and dressed up nice, coming downstairs to find your father in a tux.

     He winked again. "Your uncle Elijah is always looking for an excuse to make me suit up." You got in a jet, courtesy of S.H.I.E.L.D who occasionally did favors for your family and off to LA you went. You ordered the risotto, as you had last time and the time before, looking around. You felt vague disappointment. Ramsay didn't seem to be here. You chatted idly with your father, feeling the stress melt away.

     "A private section and everything. What did you give to get this?" You wondered aloud. Before he could answer, the waiter appeared a second time. He whipped a stake out of his pocket and lunged with preternatural speed at you. Frozen, you barely had time to react when- It wasn't your dad who stopped him. No. It was Gordon Ramsay himself. 

     "Tsk tsk. Attacking our guests? You fucking donkey!" You dimly registered that Ramsay was also a vampire. A pretty old one to be holding the would be assassin back with minimal effort. "Mikaelson. Here you go." The chef shoved the offender at your dad, who caught him and began walking him out the back door with a quick 'I'll be right back'.  Ramsay smiled at you. "And you, miss? How's your food?" You numbly replied it had been fantastic before the attempt on your life and he replied that of course it was now free of charge and melted back into the shadows. You excused yourself and went after your dad to find yourself shivering in a back alleyway while Klaus mercilessly beat the everliving fuck out of the man.

      "What makes you think you can just come in here and try to kill my Little Wolf? Try to kill my grandchild? Better than you have tried and failed." He punched the man hard enough his nose easily broke. "Besides of which, your stake isn't even the right kind. Where did you get your facts?" You froze. He knew about the baby?

     The attacker gurgled something that sounded suspiciously like "Twilight" and "The Bible" and also "Nosferatu". You both shared a snort and Klaus, noticing you, killed the man; finishing his job rather abruptly.

     "What a sodding idiot." He mocked Ramsay's tone and you laughed, actually giggled. Klaus smiled. He still knew what you liked, even after so much time apart. "I wanted you to have the chance to tell me yourself, but now you know that I know. I am sorry, Little Wolf." His face grew serious. "Whatever I did to make you feel you couldn't...I'm also sorry for that."

     You almost started crying at the hurt in his eyes. "Dad no...I...I'm scared and...I didn't want you to see that. I have a child that is at least part demon inside me. Plus all my scary shit. I was crazy strong. Way out of control. What if...S.H.I.E.L.D tries to take my baby like they tried to take me?" You really did cry this time.

     He folded you safely into his arms. "Shhh. Daddy's here. They're not going to take the baby. If I have my way, that cyclops won't even know your baby exists. Your aunty Freya and uncle Kol have been working on it." He soothed you, took inside for dessert, and took you out and spent three thousand dollars on baby things. You began to feel better. After all, daddy was here.
